DVD-Player Reviews

I have used LaCie drives before in the past and I have been impressed. Unfortunetly this product does not properly fit inside of an Apple G5. When I try to eject the drive, it gets stuck unless I manually force it out. There is no problem with the drive itself, its simply a flaw in the design of G5, I would however recommend it for a Windows/Linux based PC.

This DVD plays all martial art films, I love martial art films and seems to support all the DVD's I have put in, The sound is great, picture quality is awesome, just perfect, and the metal is cold so when you use the DVD for hours it doesn't get hot. The remote control is great has good range, and many options that are easy to use. It comes with A\C adapter, and Car Adapter, you can plug it into a TV or a DVD player , this is a Wonderful piece of equipment, it will fit in your backpack, and is very durable, I once dropped it and it was still in perfect condition, it doesn't come with earphones but I am sure everyone that reads this probably has a pair and if not you can listen to it without earphones and it sounds real good. this is TOP NOTCH and so far I have had it for 2-3 months and will update at 6 months of use, it works wonderfully

Since jumping into the world of DVD, I haven't been too impressed with the picture quality while using the standard free-in-the-box S-Video and audio wires. After ripping those out and connecting these J2 DVD cables from Monster, my DVD player just seems more alive! The picture and sound is so much better now. Those cheap cables just don't work as good as they should, in my experience. You can literally feel the difference between those and the Monster brands if you have them side-by-side.

I had to think a while before spending $ for these cables, but now I'm glad I did. If you're really serious about picture and sound quality for your home theater, then I'd recommend this set of cables. They're really top notch in design (thick and durable), and even have a lifetime guarantee from Monster. Another fine product from this wonderful company.

These cables are just plain excellent. I picked them up for my new dvd and tv and the difference is huge. You've got to get these!

If you want AWESOME picture quality you NEED this!!!

I've owned this DVD player since it was first introduced. And let me tell you folks, the audio and video quality is superb. My favorite hobby in the world is Home Theater and movies, so when I set out to buy a player, you can count I searched for the best. And in fact I did. Even if I were to upgrade to another player (to read DVD-Audio and CD-R) I would not leave Onkyo's side. I would only change to they're more prestige line called Integra. Putting that aside, the audio & video quality are flawless. It looks marvelous on my widescreen TV. Deep blacks and the color pallette is rich and pure. Not over nor under saturated. The audio side is equally as good. You WILL hear every detail your CD's have to offer...nothing less. Want high-end gear without spending a fortune? Get the DV-S525, it will not dissapoint. Even the most discriminating HT fan would agree.

This is one of the best deals on the DVD player market. First rate sound, video, and features with a bargain price. I own a Go Video D2730 networked DVD player also and I thoght it is a decent one. Bought this one just for some dialog enhancement. Never imagined this Panasonic one makes so much difference in sound and video quality. One of my best buys ever!

I bought this player almost totally because of the excellent reviews I had read about its image and sound quality, and the reviews appear to be accurate. This player replaced my old Pionneer DV-414 player, and it is much better.

The progressive output is amazing on my Panasonic Tau television. I believe this player does not exhibit the 'chroma bug' that many high-end AV magazines have found in some players, even some high-end ones.

If you don't have an reciever (or an external decoder) that can decode Dolby Digital or DTS, this player will decode them and pipe them into a reciever with 5.1 channel RCA inputs. My receiver has its own decoder, but I have decided to use the dvd player's decoder full-time as I appreciate the sound quality improvement it gives over my receiver.

I also haven't experimented with the DVD-RAM playback because as of yet I do not own a DVD-RAM drive, though I will probably remedy that in the near future.

This dvd player will also play DVD-AUDIO discs and CD-Rs with mp3s on them. The mp3 feature is pretty nice, though it won't decode id3 tags in your mp3 files. It played all of the CD-Rs that I presented it with flawlessly, however. If you play DVD-AUDIO discs on this player you'll definitely want to use its built-in decoders, as the analog outputs are the only way to get the true level of quality in a DVD-AUDIO disc (the digital outputs are downsampled to reduce the quality of a pirated copy -- it stinks, but that's how it is)

All in all, though expensive, this is a great dvd player, especially if you have a TV that can accept progressive output, and perhaps you need a DD/DTS decoder (or you'd like to upgrade the one you have). Right now the DVD-AUDIO, MP3, and DVD-RAM features are just icing on the cake, and shouldn't distract you from its extremely well-done core competencies of picture and sound quality.

Now this is what you should expect out of a DVD player (and for the price!). Every DVD I've played in this player has been top-notch and only increases any viewing experience you might have. The 5-disc carousel is a blessing for DVD titles such as Fight Club which incorporates 2 dvd's and allows you to go back and forth. Another simply amazing feature included is a dialogue enhancer which allows you to actually enjoy the movie (on your system with a center channel) instead of constantly having to adjust the volume. The scan feature is a plus but for anybody that looking to get the most out of their DVD experience this is a great buy!
